"Star" is pretty generous.

You're right. Most NFL players with 2 ACL tears in their first 3 seasons get 5 year deals worth 62.5 million with 35-40 million guaranteed.

Cardinals signed CB Tyrann Mathieu to a five-year, $62.5 million contract through 2020.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal includes a whopping $40 million guaranteed. That's a ton for a player with two torn ACLs in three seasons, but Mathieu has been a genuinely elite — and extremely versatile — defensive back when on the field. He's a born playmaker who constantly finds himself near the ball. Mathieu is questionable for Week 1, but appears likely to avoid the reserve/PUP list.
